I post this here, because I'm a political dilettante. This is, however, not Mark Brandt, who instead is a political psychologist that I'm Twitter Friends with. I really enjoyed this review, and thought maybe some of the non-dilletantish political peeps here might enjoy it also.

I remember a time, back in the late 90s, when I thought nonsense like this mattered somewhat more than I do now. Now I see well-educated people yammering about the birth control choices of their daughters, or gay marriage, and I think they are morons.

Just read back--I would have had Kefauver in 56 but haven't read Rick Perlstein's book on Goldwater yet.

Yes, I watch football. Also played pick-up tackle without equipment in high school. I have played and follow the three major sports. Have never skated, but followed the NHL when the Avs were a power. Have followed the Broncos since Lou Saban.
